There are many types of cancer, and no two are exactly alike. That’s why the oncologists at The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation create a personalized plan depending on your specific needs. Our specialists consider your type of cancer, its stage, and your overall health. Then we recommend the most appropriate treatment for you.
Chemotherapy drugs are given orally or through intravenous (IV) injection to reduce cancer growth and spread. More than half of all cancer patients receive chemotherapy treatment.
Uses high-energy radiation to shrink tumors and kill cancer cells. X-rays, gamma rays, and charged particles are types of radiation used for cancer treatment.
Also called targeted therapy because it targets only cancer cells while limiting damage to the surrounding normal cells. Immunotherapy is intended to increase the effectiveness of cancer therapy and reduce the side effects often associated with chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy.
Hormone therapy is used when the cancer’s growth is spurred by the absorption of your body’s naturally occurring hormones. Your doctor may decide to limit or block hormone production by administering certain drugs or remove the organs that produce the hormone feeding the cancer.
That’s why the oncologists at The Oncology Institute of Hope and Innovation create a personalized treatment plan for each patient. With extensive experience in a broad array of cancer types, we offer state-of-the-art chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy treatments. The main categories of cancer include:
Cancer that begins in the skin or in tissues that line or cover internal organs.
Cancer that begins in bone, cartilage, fat, muscle, blood vessels, or other connective or supportive tissue.
Cancer that begins in the cells of the immune system.
Cancer that starts in blood-forming tissue (such as bone marrow) and causes large numbers of abnormal blood cells to be produced and enter the blood.
Cancer that begins in the tissues of the brain and spinal cord.
Breast cancer is characterized by abnormal cell growth which can happen in any area of the breast, though it most commonly occurs within the ducts and glands.
Abnormal cell growth in a woman’s reproductive organs or genitals, typically named after the reproductive organ where the cancer is found. (ex: Ovarian cancer, Cervical cancer)
